Bee sent an email full of helpful information about things to do in Bangkok and the surrounding area. The apartment is close to public transportation which is very easy to navigate. We enjoyed living in a neighborhood away from the usual tourist areas but close enough to be convenient. There are a lot of great eating options just steps away from the apartment and everyone is so friendly and helpful. We are going back for two more nights at the end of our Thailand adventure just to soak up a little more of the hospitable atmosphere. My 16 year old son even likes it - wifi and TV helped!!
